One of the biggest and most dangerous issues that society is facing today would be none other than domestic abuse or spousal violence. By definition, spousal abuse is known to be the act of one partner using violence, guilt, threat, blackmail, or any other acts in order to dominate the other one. By understanding all about this act, society may actually be able to do something about it.
Now the bad thing about this is that it may happen to just about anyone and not just a certain age, race, or sex. In fact, what many people do not know is that there are cases wherein women would also try to control their men by means of blackmail or other types of abusive acts. So as one can see, abusive behavior picks no one and may just happen to anyone.
One thing to always remember is that this type of behavior is not something that would just come out of nowhere the next second. This type of characteristic would actually come in small steps and would come gradually. From the small belittling comments, one may actually start humiliating his or her partner by making use of hurtful words.
Of course the hurtful words and belittling acts may lead up to outward violence such as hitting and slapping. Now usually, the violence would start out light like slaps to the face or to the arm. However, if it is left unattended, the dominating partner may actually start hitting the subdued spouse really hard.
Of course there is something that is definitely very uncalled for which is known as sexual abuse. Now of course it is the men who are more likely to do this instead of the women. This is a form of rape wherein the man would actually force his spouse to have sex with him in a way that could actually hurt her or injure her.
Of course if one is a victim of this type of act, then the most obvious sign would be fear and timidness when around the dominating spouse. One who is a victim of this act will usually try to watch his or her actions when he or she is with the spouse. It is like he or she is always nervous and is extremely careful with his or her every move.
Of course one of the major causes of this kind of behavior would simply be low self esteem on the part of the dominating partner. Since the dominating partner has low self esteem, then he or she would actually take out the frustration on the partner. This in turn will help him or her gain some self confidence in himself or herself because he or she does not feel like he or she amounts to anything.
Domestic abuse is one of the most dangerous occurrences in the world and can actually change the personality of a person. There are so many bad long term effects that a victim may actually experience. That is why this type of treatment has to stop already and the voices of these victims have to be heard in order to bring about the change.
